Dear Amanda

Further to your request for information about supply teacher usage in Bradford schools during 2009/10, received on 8 June 2010 under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Unfortunately we do not hold the information that you have requested. The information will however be available after the 16^th July when we have closed the 2009/10 accounts down and schools have submitted their financial returns data to the Department of Education. If the information is still useful to you after this date, please resubmit your request to [Bradford City Council request email]

As part of your request you asked for details of supplier names. Unfortunately we are unable to provide this information. Under Local Management of Schools arrangements schools have their own bank accounts from which they make payments to suppliers. To obtain this information you would need to contact each school individually.  

If you are not satisfied with this reply you may ask for a review of this decision by contacting [Bradford City Council request email] or by writing to Freedom of Information, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, 2^nd Floor, City Exchange, 61 Hall Ings, Bradford, BD1 5SG.

If you are still not satisfied with the outcome of the internal review you have the right of appeal to the Information Commissioner who can be contacted at:
